Justin Trudeau has already announced his stepping down as Canada’s prime minister. But for Joe Rogan, his exit can’t come quick enough.
In a recent episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast that featured outdoorsman Steven Rinella, Rogan, 57, called the outgoing prime minister every foul name under the sun.
“They don’t have free speech up there. They don’t have the First Amendment. They have different laws. They have hate speech laws, which are very dangerous … They want 78 fake genders … I don’t even go to Canada anymore … It’s on the same patch of land as us and it’s f***ed,” Rogan said, taking aim once again at the Online Harms Act, Bill C-63, which targets freedom of expression on the Internet.
Rogan went on to speak about his friendship with Jordan Peterson, a former professor of psychology at the University of Toronto who was suspended from Twitter in 2022 and ordered to undergo social media training after he was accused of misgendering and deadnaming transgender actor Elliot Page.
“They want to educate him on what he talks about on social media if he wants to keep his clinical license to practice as a psychotherapist,” Rogan said.
Rogan, who has previously endorsed Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, said he hopes “there’s some sort of meaningful change up there.”
“I used to love Canada … but the woke s*** there hit so hard because they don’t have freedom of speech … Their ability to express themselves on the Internet has been severely limited. It’s real weird, man, and it’s happening,” he said.
Rogan warned that what’s occurring in Canada could happen elsewhere in the world “if you don’t have the right laws.”
During the podcast, he used a couple of nasty expletives to negatively describe Trudeau, before adding, “I genuinely despise people like that.
“But I think it’s good to say it publicly because people need to understand what these people are doing. These people are leading down a road to legitimate communism. Like, he’s leading that country on a road to legitimate communism. It’s very dangerous and I think most Canadians are fed up with it at this point.” .
Rogan continued, saying that the Liberal Party exudes “so much control” over Canadians.
“He’s been forced to resign. He’s got to step down,” Rogan said. “Hopefully they don’t get some new slick talker to con them into the same old bulls***.”
Clips of Rogan’s anti-Trudeau rant racked up more than 1.6 million views on X with one person declaring, “He speaks for 70% of Canadians.”
“I think Mr. Rogan has a good assessment of our situation,” another critic swiped.
After Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this month, Rogan branded the unpopular leader a “communist.”
“He’s stepping down till they find a replacement, and then he leaves … He’s like a fake progressive,” Rogan said during a conversation with comedian Theo Von. “The whole thing’s fake, that’s why he was an authoritarian and he kept cracking down on people’s rights, and they all really saw it during that trucker protest because that’s when it was really in front of everybody’s face, where you couldn’t ignore it. Here is this guy who is trying to freeze bank accounts from the people that donated money to the truckers.”
“I liked him better when he was black,” Von joked, referring to Trudeau’s 2019 “blackface” scandal.
Last October, Rogan revealed that he flirted with moving to Canada. “I used to want to live in Canada … until Trudeau,” Rogan said in a conversation with Shane Smith on an episode of TJRE,. “I thought about living in Vancouver. I was like, ‘I could go live in Vancouver if s*** hits the fan in the United States. I always felt Canadians are amazing people.”
